1337 Trials Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hello. Im just wondering what are peoples views on the £75 echo hub? (Fixed) Sorry not sure on the model name. ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticker Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I had one and it was crap. The threads inside the hub were rubbish and the bolts stripped all the threads.If i were you id get a viz hub, much better and the bearings are sweet!

Skoze Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I've had a Zoo fixed (near enough the same, just diferent logo) for over a year and it's been mint! Only just started to get a bit rough on the bearing side of life, but thats easily fixed Only real problem (if you can call it that) is that the inside of my bolts have gone a bit rusty, but tis purely asthetic.Good hub for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well i got this hub/echo 07 rim for £80 P+P. I was going to get a viz hub onto my old dx-32 rim and that would off cost £70. lol. ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Its good These ones are much better than the one that I used to have - the other side would spin when you tryed to do the bolts up but theyve fixed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 all fixed hubs are pretty much the same nowadays....they have the same bearings!from experience, i'v found the koxx or megamo hubs to be alot more durable- needle bearing on the drive side and beefier axle.viz axles are terrible...adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 These?If so, I've had a green one for a little over 6 months now - and its a beuty! Very durable, good hub But Ozzy and Andrew run Viz hubs, and they've never experienced any problems. So take your pick, they're both quality products!
